The Hangover (Phillips, 2009) — Bradley Cooper & Zach Galifianakis in Vegas comedy

The Bus · 03-25-09, 04:08 PM

HD Trailer | IMDB | 9 June 2009

http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/thehangover/

Two days before his wedding, Doug and his three friends drive to Las Vegas for a blow-out bachelor party they’ll never forget. But, in fact, when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning, they can’t remember a thing. For some reason, they find a tiger in the bathroom and a six-month-old baby in the closet of their suite at Caesars Palace. The one thing they can’t find is Doug. With no clue as to what transpired and little time to spare, the trio must retrace their hazy steps and all their bad decisions in order to figure out where things went wrong and hopefully get Doug back to L.A. in time to walk down the aisle.

This looks pretty funny. It's from the director/producer of Old School (

) but the writers of Four Christmases (

).

Mike Tyson sings Phil Collins

RichC2 · 05-08-09, 12:06 AM

Warner is apparently already planning a follow up after some excellent feedback.

This looks friggin hilarious! The bits with the baby and the stun gun to the face, and of course Mike Tyson. Looks like it's gonna be a pretty good comedy that doesn't have the name Will Ferrell or Judd Apatow attached for a change.

yeah, this does look pretty good. good ensemble cast and Mike Tyson!

James Lafleur · 05-12-09, 02:28 PM

Every little bit of advertisement and every clip has made me laugh, plus I love the cast and concept and that Phil Collins song, so it's safe to say I'm in the theater opening weekend.
It reminds me a bit of Dude, Where's My Car, but way funnier!(and I liked DWMC)

SkipKassidy · 05-21-09, 12:24 AM

Just came back from a screening tonight and holy shit was it a blast. For those thinking that all the best stuff was in the trailers that would be a no. That's just the stuff they could show.

I guess in a nutshell it's like Dude, Where's My Car, but with a Rated R mentality.

Outside of the ensemble of Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis and the comic mischief, the thing that impressed me the most was the structure. Like the characters we are also trying to piece together how they lost the husband-to-be (played by Justin Bartha). It's a hard R comedy with a little bit of mystery.

Oh, and stay for the end credits. That's all I'm sayin'.

You had me at "Dude."

I got an advanced screening ticket for June 2nd.

KillerCannibal · 05-22-09, 11:45 AM

The trailers for this really do nothing for me. Unless my chick really wants to see it I'll probably pass. I've felt that Phillips previous comedies were amusing, but never rose above being just a decent laughfest.

Indy Jones Fan · 05-22-09, 04:57 PM

Saw an advanced screening...crude, vulger... and hilarious!! It's definetly "man-humor" so take your wives/girlfriends to see it only if they don't mind that type of stuff. As mentioned above, definetly stay around for the credits.

This was my thinking on it. Its why I've planned a Man-day night around seeing this movie now that 24, House, and HIMYM are over for the season.

Dr Mabuse · 05-23-09, 01:53 PM

I'm gonna see this.

dino88 · 05-23-09, 02:20 PM

Once I heard Zach G was in this there was no question I was seeing it...I just wish that every preview wouldn't have worn out the Mike Tyson cameo. I can't see myself laughing at his part after seeing it 300 times already.

Zen Peckinpah · 05-24-09, 12:53 AM

Looking forward to this. Not sure if it will top Observe and Report for me, but it'll be good I'm sure.

he's got a much bigger role then he should've gotten. he had lines, that should've been subtitled.

Agreed -- saw it last night as well. Hilarious throughout.

RichC2 · 06-03-09, 10:09 AM

Token critical response comment: 16 reviews, 100% Fresh @ RT.com. The Village Voice review may end up being negative but it sounds like the reviewer liked it a good deal for it being a mainstream "guy flick" that doesn't push the envelope quite enough to make it truly awesome (and in turn, probably alienate commercial appeal). But then, he also makes the movie sound passably deep

Bluelitespecial · 06-03-09, 05:11 PM

I would love to see this beat out Land of the Lost this weekend, I saw it night and it was awesome, its best with a sold out crowd.

superdeluxe · 06-03-09, 05:54 PM

Going to catch this with T4 on friday at the Drive In.

Should be fun.

mcfly · 06-03-09, 06:25 PM

I'm really looking forward to this. I'm a Will Ferrel whore but this just looks so brilliant. I can't wait, it's been awhile since we've had an all-out classic R-rated comedy.

dino88 · 06-04-09, 04:42 AM

I'm a massive Zach Galifianakis fan and Roger Ebert's review just gave me goosebumps. He compares Zach to John Belushi in Animal House!

Ebert: "Well, Zach Galifianakis' performance is the kind of breakout performance that made John Belushi a star after "Animal House." He is short, stocky, wants to be liked, has a yearning energy, was born clueless. It is a tribute to Galifianakis' acting that we actually believe he is sincere when he asks the clerk at the check-in counter: "Is this the real Caesars Palace? Does Caesar live here?"

He gave the film 3.5/4 stars, here's the full review
